Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 145 Going Home

The next day, Lin Manman was woken up by her mother's video call. Even before the video call connected, she could imagine her mother's excited expression.

She quickly composed herself and answered the call.

"Manman..." Lin's mother struggled to suppress her sobs before she could barely speak clearly.

"Your brother...your brother is awake! Come quick!"

Although Lin's mother's eyes were red and glistening with tears, the joy and hope on her face made Lin Manman feel that all the dangers she had encountered were worthwhile.

As long as her family is healthy and safe, she has the courage to face any difficulties.

She tried her best to look surprised. "Really? I'm coming right away!"

Lin Manman hung up the call, quickly washed and dressed, and looked at herself in the mirror, falling into a moment of contemplation.

Now that her brother has woken up, her next goal is to reach level eight as soon as possible and then go to the secret realm to search for her father's whereabouts.

However, this goal cannot be rushed; she still needs to steadily and diligently improve her strength and level first.

Once she gets to the capital, she should seriously look for a suitable new spirit pet.

When they arrived at the hospital, Lin's mother was still on the phone with her aunt and her younger aunt, telling them the good news.

Lin Ruochen gave her a subtle smile that only the two of them could understand as she entered.

While her mother wasn't looking, Lin Manman winked.

"Mom, that's great! Brother really woke up!" Lin Manman's exaggerated acting made Lin Ruochen turn his face away silently, afraid that he would burst out laughing.

"Have you called a doctor? When can we go home?" Lin Manman asked knowingly.

In fact, after Lin Ruochen woke up yesterday, apart from feeling a bit weak in his hands and feet due to prolonged inactivity, all the problems that had caused his bodily functions to decline from lying down for so long had been cured by that drop of [diluted life spring water].

It's fair to say that she could have been discharged from the hospital and gone home without any problems.

"I asked, and the doctor did a quick check-up. He said your brother is healthier than he was before he woke up."

From the moment Lin Ruochen woke up in the morning, Lin's mother's smile never faded.

When the doctor offered to give Lin Ruochen a full examination, which she refused, she didn't seem to care.

In her eyes, as long as a person is awake, well, and without any discomfort or danger, that's all that matters.

How exactly I woke up is not important at all.

"Doesn't that mean we can be discharged and go home today?" Lin Manman winked at Lin Ruochen.

"Mom, I feel great right now, there's nothing wrong with me. I also want to go back and see the new house you mentioned, and... the spirit beast shop that Manman opened." Lin Ruochen gave her a reassuring look and naturally played along with her sister.

Lin's mother hesitated for a moment. Lin Ruochen had just refused the examination that morning, and now he was leaving the hospital.

Although her son appears to be no different from a normal person on the surface, she still worries about whether there might be any hidden dangers.

Lin Manman naturally understood her mother's worries, but her brother really couldn't be examined by the doctor right now!

Having absorbed so much life energy last night, Lin Ruochen was sure to find something out today, so he refused the examination early in the morning. Lin Manman was eager for her brother to be discharged from the hospital and go home.

"Mom, I forgot to tell you yesterday. My teacher is back from the secret realm and will be coming to pick us up to go to the capital in a couple of days. If my brother doesn't go back to see our new home, he might never have the chance again."

"Besides, don't you know what kind of person my teacher is? If anything really goes wrong later, he's definitely more reliable than a doctor!"

Lin Manman then brought out Meng Wenbin, a powerful figure, at the opportune moment.

Hearing this, Lin's mother relaxed considerably. She looked back and forth between the two of them. "Your brother just woke up, how come you two seem to have planned this all along?"

Lin Ruochen: ...

Lin Manman chuckled dryly, "My brother has been in a coma for so long, isn't it normal for him to want to go home and visit? As his sister, I understand him, so naturally I have to support him."

Seeing that both her children shared the same idea, Lin's mother had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Okay, I'll go check with the doctor again. If he says everything is normal, we'll go home."

After Lin's mother left the ward, Lin Manman and Lin Ruochen smiled at each other.

After receiving a positive answer from the doctor, Lin's mother finally felt relieved and agreed to be discharged from the hospital and go home today!

Afterwards, Lin Manman stuffed all of Lin's mother and Lin Ruochen's belongings into her spatial bracelet, and then she and her mother helped Lin Ruochen slowly walk back to their new home.

When they got back, Lin's mother was so happy that she invited her aunt's family and her younger aunt over to celebrate together at noon.

Now that her son was awake, Lin's mother, feeling more at ease with cooking, went grocery shopping with Xia Ming, planning to put her culinary skills to the test at noon.

Led by Lin Manman, Lin Ruochen leisurely toured his new home and the spirit beast shop.

Although I had already heard Lin Manman mention it last night, she used her talent to not only relieve her mother of the worry about his medical expenses, but also to buy a new home and start a business.

But only by seeing the villa in person could he truly understand how much she had done.

When Mr. Lin was still alive, after deducting the family's daily living expenses and education costs, it was considered quite good if they could save one million Chinese yuan a year.

But this villa in front of us has a large footprint and comes with two gardens, front and back. It must be worth at least tens of millions.

"That's impressive! Your earning power is far superior to our dad's."

Lin Ruochen toured the new house, and finally Lin Manman led him to the room that had been reserved for him. After looking around, he exclaimed in admiration.

Lin Manman raised an eyebrow. "You remember Qiu Xiangjing, Dad's teammate, right? He's my partner now, in charge of the store's daily operations, but he just happens to be out today."

She then gave him a brief account of the help Qiu Xiangjing had provided to her and Lin's mother after Lin Ruochen's accident.

"Once we get to the capital, we plan to hand this shop over to him to manage."

Lin Ruochen nodded. "Of course. With this shop, he won't have to risk his life in the secret realm anymore. He can stay with his family and live a peaceful and stable life."

After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh slightly. If his sister had awakened her profession and talent earlier, would their father have had to risk his life in the secret realm?

Mr. Lin was not actually an adventurous person; he formed the expedition team purely so that his family and brothers could make a living.

For so many years, he had tried his best to avoid high-risk secret realms, but unfortunately, an accident still happened in the end.

Lin Manman also fell silent. Her brother's sigh was like a slap in the face, causing her inner self-blame to erupt in an instant.

If she hadn't been so focused on simply lying down and not wanting to face the responsibilities that might come with accepting the system, and thus deliberately avoided it...

Perhaps her father could also be like Qiu Xiangjing now, no longer needing to risk his life in the secret realm, but able to stay with his family and live a warm and peaceful life.

Lin Ruochen noticed that Lin Manman's expression was off, so he went up and flicked her on the forehead.

"What nonsense are you thinking about now? Awakening your class and talents isn't something you can decide for yourself."

The siblings, who grew up together, are very familiar with each other's personalities and thoughts, so Lin Ruochen can immediately read her thoughts from her expression.

Lin Manman rubbed her forehead bitterly; it really was something she could decide.

When she looked up again, her eyes were filled with unwavering determination.

"It's okay, we'll definitely find him in the future."

A glimmer of light appeared in Lin Ruochen's eyes. "Yes, we can definitely bring him back!"

As he spoke, he extended a hand to Lin Manman, who tacitly shook it back.
